COCKTAIL RECIPES

Experience the full flavour of our barrel finished gin, Campfire Cask Aged, by serving it neat over ice – taste the citrus and piney juniper softened by vanilla, caramel and soft fruity notes. Our recommended before dinner drinks featuring Campfire Cask Aged Gin are the Ember Negroni and a Gin and It meets a Manhattan – the Fireside Manhattan. Both are simple, easy to make classic gin cocktails that can be batch-made in advance of your dinner party.

A more complex gin cocktail in both flavour and ingredients is The Tally Man as created by bartender Ryan Puckett. We’ve adapted the original recipe slightly to use Campfire Cask Aged Gin and Bitter Union Lemon, Hop & Herb Bitters which when combined with banana liqueur where the bananas are soaked in brandy, dark crème de cacao and a glass rinse of absinthe makes just the best gin cocktail!

Campfire Cask Aged Gin Tally Man cocktail recipe

THE TALLY MAN

History
This cocktail, originally created by bartender Ryan Puckett, uses a banana liqueur which reminds us of a two week coast to coast trip in Costa Rica where we visited a banana plantation.

Ingredients
60ml Campfire Cask Aged Gin
5ml Absinthe for washing round glass
30ml Banana liqueur
4ml Bitter Union Lemon, Hop & Herb Bitters (dash = 0.92ml)
2ml Dark crème de cacao
Ice
Star anise for garnish

Preparation
Rinse a chilled coupe glass with the absinthe; pour out the excess. In a mixing glass, combine the Campfire Cask Aged Gin, banana liqueur, lemon bitters and crème de cacao. Top up the mixing glass with ice and stir well. Strain into the prepared coupe and float the star anise on top.
